“My conversations with A.I. have been that I don’t think he’s being aggressive enough,” Nuggets coach George Karl said today at shootaround. “I think he’s thinking too much. He’s a basketball player, he plays best when the flow and rhythm of the game comes his way. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. I just think we need to get him better touches and maybe more touches.”

Iguodala hasn’t made more than five field goals since Nov. 29 at Golden State.

So far, so bad for Denver defending the low-post. Tonight, coach George Karl and the guys hope to improve against winless Detroit, though, as Karl said, “They’re big and strong. They pound. They’re kind of a rebounding monster. There’s going to be a little bit speed against size. We have to be aware of the wounded team. They’re searching for a win too, so we can’t let them get it here.”
